Mike_Mac Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'm currently working on an old celica of mine that I've recently reaquired with a lot needing done. I'm on a tight budget and am trying to keep costs down as much as possible by doing all the engine and interior work myself, but without scrimping as I want to get it as good as possible. One of the biggest jobs is refurbing the alloys. I've already removed the tyres and was going to strip and respray them myself, but I'm not too sure that the finish will last for too long, or be good enough. So far the best quote I've got to do them professionally is £52 per wheel, which I can't really afford. Does anyone know of anywhere that could be cheaper, without being crap?
